Jaanix RSS feature poll by fooladder
image
Recently jaanix introduced an automated RSS feed submitted from ycombinator. Depending on you preferences this feed might be taking up a significant chunk of you radar. For me, about 75% of the top stories come from ycombinator/rss with the tag "hacker news." It is not that I dislike them. They are interesting, but they are no the reason I come to jaanix. If I wanted to read every single ycombinator story, I would just go there. It seems to be that by reposting every single story that comes from the RSS feed, jaanix is missing out on editorial control that comes with human story submission.

I want to conduct a small poll about what other people think about having automated submissions to jaanix from an rss feed. Vote for the comments (to this post) that you agree or post your own.

I do not care about the RSS feed.

I don't care because I can opt out. If you don't want to see hacker news stories, then just go to jaanix.com/hacker-news and use the slider on the right.
It'd be a problem if new users saw only a mix of posts from hacker-news/reddit/slashdot/whatever, but when i turn off the cookies i see only few of them, so it's all right.

I like the rss feed from hacker news.

I hates it. Make it go away. Jaanix is about the social not the automated.

The RSS feed is great. I would like to see these other sites/blogs added. Please specify in subcomments.

It seems to me that the real probvlem with the feed, as stands, is that the specific posts by it only get tagged with the tags set on the host itself, and those are scanty. Essentially, we need two different things, as it were, to differentiate between values of data flowing to us. Proper tags, so Jaanix can weight effectively based on that and a "user" associated with that feed that might be higher or lower weighted as it goes. With the two, it's just one more data source for the system to learn how you feel about.

Its trying to solve a\the supply side problem of content, in lieu of the user base getting bigger (quickly) and solving it, therefore it's likely necessary in order to ensure that there is (enough) current content to engage (new) users.
